A Georgetown man, 25-year-old Charles Rozanski, was arrested Saturday evening because police said he stabbed his girlfriend in the chest.

On Friday evening at around 11:15 p.m., officers were called to the second block of Rehoboth Avenue in Rehoboth Beach for a group of disorderly people possibly preparing to fight, police said.

When officers arrived the people had left the scene, but the investigation revealed Rozanski was involved in an altercation with his girlfriend, a 30-year-old from Georgetown, which drew the attention of two other men who confronted him about his behavior, police said.

Rozanski fought with them, and he displayed a knife causing them to retreat, police said.

More than an hour later, Rehoboth Police were called to the Beebe Health Campus emergency room where a female victim was reporting she'd been stabbed. Police said the victim was Rozanski's girlfriend.

Police said after the fight, Rozanski drove his vehicle away from the scene with the woman in the passenger seat. Rozanski stabbed her in the chest with a knife, puncturing her lung, police said.
